A CLUE DISCOVERED.
A Letter From the Ocean Wave
Hosse, Rive Beach,
Which Throws Considerable Light
on the Mystery.


The mystery surrounding the case of Liz
zie Franklin, the dement4d woman at the
poor house, is beginning TO clear up. Yes
terday the following letter was received by
Mr.. Waldron, the superintendent of the poor
farm
OCEAN WAVE House,
NORTH RYE BEACH n. H., Sept 90.
10 the Superintendent of the Augusta Aims
House:
DEAR SIR IL see BY the papers that Lizzie
Franklin is at your institution. If still there
please inform me of it as she worked for me
some over three months this season. l paid
her over sixty dollars when she left and
think her trunk and money may be in Ports
mouth.
Yours very respectfully,
HENRY KNOX.
T. S.-Direct to Portsmouth, N. H.
This seems to be clue thar will undoubted
ly enable the authorities to arrive at the full
facts in this matter. The indications seem
10 be that the parties with whom she stopped
desired to get rid of her, whether to secure
her money and possessions or to rid them
selves of troublesome boarder, lie yet to be
discovered. The woman has been under
treatment of DR.. G. h. Brickett, the city
physician. Yesterday she was visited by DR..
Harlow. She had said she knew DR.. Harlow,
but upon his arrival she refused to tell
him where she had met him say
ing that she had probably waited on the table
at some hotel where he had stopped. The
doctor thinks the woman is partially insane,
but that with good medical treatment she will
probably recover. 1t is to be hoped that the
parties who had this unfortunate woman in
their care may be hunted down and made to
give an account of their strange, if not Grim
inal action, in the matter.
The woman appeared much better through
the day and talked very nationally. Towards
evening she complained that her "headache'
was coming on again, and retired early in
hopes of escaping it.
